Do you believe that the farmer is
getiing his share of the profits on
his products?
Look at the difference in the way
e the average farmer lives and the
luxury the man enjoys th't looks af
ter the farmer.
No! Labor is not too high or
scarce! It is your method of farming
that is to low and the Ick of brains
in your work%that makes things bad.
If man sweat comes too high, use
more horse sweat and improved im

Fall plowing forwards spring work
and pulverizes the soil while spring
plowing often makes clods and is
often too wet to plow. Pile three
acres of land on top of each other by
plowing deep in the fall, this, will
save two thirds of the man labor and
cultivation of the crop.
